RECONCILIATION.

When passion killed his nobler sense of mind,
he smote me, and In silence worse than words !
We parted. =
A weary round Of years went BY. when came.
Like flood tide on the angry deep. great waves I
OF trouble rolling onward in our paths;
Alike the skies were dark for both, .
Alike the gentle, smiling sun beamed forth.
Then, after we had Selt the fire Of life,
Fate, chance. or God, or what you viii, took up
The raveled ends Of our remaining days,
And brought us face to face.
met him In the early dawn when morn,
Gray hooded, and with somber mien,
Looked DER the hills upon drowsy world.
Pale was his face and in his eyes I saw
Few were the moments till his race was run.
He turned upon his couch--his dying couch,
And babe me hear the last words of his life.
Yet ere he spake. his breath forsook his lips.
And with gentle, winning smile, he passed
Into the confines Of another WORLD
And rejoiced he spake not, for his smile
Was better far than idle words.

Lespes. the Literary Hairdresser.

A whole volume Of anecdotes is going
the rounds of the press .anent the literary
hairdresser, Edmund Lespes. Every one
connected with literature or art knew
him, and many well known people ire
quented his shop. After he had grown
wealthy, Lespes left the practical details
to his assistants and confined himself to
playing cashier. He was native Of the
south of France, ana in common with his
countrymen had strange sympathies and
equally unaccountable antipathies Scenes
like the following are said not to have
been uncommon in his 'ssalon:"
A customer presents himself and in
quires how much he owes.

"A Russians'' thinks Lespes to him
self. He comes from q country where
every one is either a tyrant or slave.

soil, it is only the tyrants who travel.

A customer with long side whiskers but
